Who on earth told you he was white? He was brown, some say black, but he certainly wasn't white.

no Jesus was born at the East end of the Mediterranean, in the region of what is now Israel. It is a very hot area, and people native to that region have quite dark skin Jesus' skin was not white, it was a good healthy dark brown.
Jesus did not speak English.
It is extremely unlikely that Jesus had blonde hair or blue eyes.

It is unlikely that Jesus was a white man. Historically, people in the middle east are not caucasian, but more Arabic in appearance. The bible describes jesus as having skin the color of a penny, with hair like lamb's wool. That would mean he is decidedly dark-skinned, possibly of African descent.

I don't believe he was pure white, Most people from that part of the world are dark skinned, I don't know why people always portray him as being white.

Not in the sense that we'd understand today. He was a Jewish semite, so would have had somewhat dusky skin. He almost certainly wasn't the creamy white, long haired, blue-eyed, sandal-wearing hippie that we generally show as His image today!

He was semetic, the same as Arabs and ethnic Jews. He was definately caucasian as are people from India & Pakistan.

I don't believe he was the blue-eyed blond that we have him pictured as. Scholars have said he was probably dark complected and short in stature.

I have heard that he had olive colored skin, much like others from that part of the world.

skin like bronze and hair of wool, just like any other person from that region.
Or, one person is appearing to another person to be so pretty they will marry, while another person will see them and be disgusted at the pairing. wich one is correct.
